Scottish Clan Research and Events

The purpose of this message board is to provide information on the Scottish Clan. Surname Research should still be posted on the Surname message board or mailing list. The Clan mailing list and message boards are gatewayedtogether so this message will be relayed over to the mailing list This Clan board and mailing list are intended to cover subjects that would normally be considered off topic in thesurnames.

We used the list from the â€œGreat Hall of theClansâ€ as our guide to the Clan list. The Lord Lyon has referenced this site from their site so it has some degreeof acceptance from an official source. That was also theguide to the spellings of the Clan name.

The Clan mailing list and Clan message boards are for anyone with a genealogical or historical interest in the Scottish Clan and their Septs. Acceptable Topics include searches for Clan ancestors; discussions of Clan history, culture, food, language, coats of arms,tartans, and major events that changed the course of the Clan.Current events such as the main Clan gathering,rebuilding of the Clan Castle, news from archives or museums; and notices of Clan gatherings and meetings from the official regional and international Clan Associations are also encouraged.

Iâ€™ve suggested some threads so you can easily post directlyunder that thread for easy follow-up. Please feel free to addothers

BTW: Many thanks to our Lady Elaine, and Vicki for their patience and assistance in getting this all set up!! It took many hours of work.

BTW: A very special acknowlegement must go to the beautiful maiden, Lady Margaret, that married me so many years ago in Ayr and celebrated with the family at the at Burns Hotel at Brigadoon. She thence gave us 4 children and 7 Grandchildren that are the most important things in my life. She has also encouraged me to pursue my interest in Scottish Genealogy and History and for that I will be forever in her debt.
